The main facade of the new Students Union building at the University of Lincoln faces south. As such, during summer months, the building would suffer from overheating. This was making the working environment very uncomfortable for staff and the existing blinds were not helping.Air-conditioning was not an option due to increased energy consumption so the Estates Department turned to WF Glazing Protection for help.Working together with the University, we were given the task of reducing solar build-up whilst maintaining the external aesthetics originally designed by their architects.After initial trials, 3M Night Vision 25 was specified for the 300sqm installation. This specialist solar control film offers very low reflectance when compared to standard films but still provides excellent performance with 66% solar energy rejection.The project was completed direct with the University within their timescale of the summer student break.

The Catmose Swimming Pool in Oakham had an issue with distracting glare from the sun and solar heat gain creating a very uncomfortable environment for both users and staff alike. On behalf of Rutland County Council, 261sqm of Titan Dual15 solar control window film was installed to the perimeter double glazed units reducing glare by 85% and solar energy by 70%. Titan15 is a dual reflective window film with a 12 year warranty against bubbling and peeling. It's internal reflectivity is over half that of the external face providing good visibility when compared to standard reflective film. The project was successfully co-ordinated with the County Council during a planned week of closure for maintenance and was installed on time and within budget.

We are delighted to have been able to help our local Paralympic 200m Gold Medal champion Richard Whitehead to be able to train in peace and comfort. 3M Night Vision 15 solar control window film was installed to his new home gymnasium providing one-way vision mirror privacy whilst maintaining a natural, low reflectance internal appearance. At the same time, the sun's heat and glare are also reflected to create a more pleasant environment.

South Leicestershire College in Wigston, Leicester required a window graphic film to provide provide for clients of the hair salon training centre with privacy from passing students in the corridors. A decorative film from supplier Reflectiv in France was chosen for its modern, unique appearance whilst maintaining high levels of light.

As a 3M Approved Applicator we were invited to install Scotchcal 50 Series vinyl and Frosted Crystal window graphics to the new 3M Automotive Refinish Centre in Atherstone, Warwickshire.

Solar Control, Blockout and Temporary Privacy Bowmer & Kirkland Ltd approached WF Glazing Protection Ltd to award the contract for window film application on the construction of the new TESCO Extra store in Beeston, Nottingham. 3M Prestige70 clear solar control film was applied to 153sqm of curtain wall glazing in the Retail Area to reduce solar gain, 130sqm of Hexis grey blockout vinyl was used to obscure internal partitioning walls and ceilings, 76sqm of TempScreen provided temporary privacy for continuing construction work in the Retail Units, and 111sqm of 3M External Silver15 was installed to provide glare reduction in the Main Store. All works were completed within 2 weeks of store opening, on time, within budget and using approved, safe access equipment in accordance with the main contractor's terms and conditions.

This client in Banbury was having new furniture and wanted a solar control window film to protect it against sun damage. Their existing sofa had faded dramatically and they didn't want it to happen again. 3M Prestige70 sun protection window film was installed with a 15 year warranty to reduce fading by protecting against 99.9% of UV and 97% of Inra-Red Heat whilst maintaining a natural appearance.

The brand new, award winning premises in the heart of Nottingham required a privacy solution to the windows of the tenants' swimming pool. The architects at Lace Market Properties stipulated that the effect must be graduated to keep the perception of clarity from inside of the pool. Working together to meet their requirements WF Glazing Protection specified and sourced Fasara Illumina Decorative Window Film from 3M Japan. A graduating film from white frost to clear that has an anti-bacterial coating to resist finger marks and a 5 year warranty against peeling. The project was completed on time with minimum disruption on behalf of main contractor Laing O'Rourke.

Satin High Density frosted privacy window film was installed at the Holiday Inn Express in Nottingham to hide the lift shaft from public view whilst maintaining a modern appearance.

The hospital had recently purchased adjoining land that was an old school site and decided to utilise the school building for their expanding training and office requirements. The property was of the traditional 1970's construction with single glazed metal windows and a large south facing facade. Secondary glazing had been installed along with blinds. However, during summer months, the glare and solar gain were unbearable causing employee's severe discomfort. Simply installing air conditioning was not the answer and a method for controlling the glare and solar gain was sought. Some areas already had a solar control window film but it was very degraded and needed replacing. "We chose to use WF Glazing Protection Ltd to do this as we felt that their service, knowledge, specification and price offered the best value for money. The work was completed on time, within budget and our staff are extremely pleased with the results. The offices are much cooler and more comfortable and we are hoping to see energy cost savings with the reduction in our requirement for temporary air-conditioning."
